Customer Reviews Levi's® 511™ Slim

Cool pants! I feel stylish in them. They are perfectly in the middle of too baggy and too tight.

The jeans look great and like they'll last the epic bike riding they'll have to endure. They shipped super fast and it was easy to buy something I knew I could return basically any time--especially for gifts.

Rigid so I suggest you buy 2 sizes bigger than what you normally wear. Nevertheless, great pair of jeans!

I ordered these based on the numbers from another pair I have in blue, that I got at a real-life store. These seem to fit tighter around the hips, and the pockets are harder to get in and out of. But they're comfortable enough. Maybe they will stretch.

Great pair of jeans for a slightly dressier look. The black is as black as black can get - hard to imagine these fading. The denim is a bit stiffer than usual at first. The waist measurements run normal (accurate). Would definitely recommend.

When I first got these jeans, they were very hard to get on. I bought them in the same size as I usually buy my 501s (32x30). A couple of wears later, they fit much better. Remember they will stretch a bit, so, even if they're a little tight at first, they'll relax a bit, so consider buying them in your normal size, instead of a size up, if you want them to fit snugly. I noticed that Levi's tend to run just a bit long in the inseam; I generally buy them an inch or two shorter than other brands, but I also like my jeans to fall with no break. I have fairly muscular legs, and the fit, while tight, was perfect for skinny jeans. The 4 stars for comfort are because these jeans are kind of tight in the crotch. Lastly, remember that all Levi's jeans are unique, and no two fit alike, so you might want to buy 2 or 3 pairs, try them on and see which one you like best, and return the others -- Zappos makes this really easy.

They are rigid, as others have said, but more importantly they run small. The waist feels almost 2 inches smaller than what I expected. Order a size or two bigger so that you can breathe while seated.

I bought a couple other 511s but returned these because I didn't like the color. The green is more intense than it appears online, it looks like the jeans could glow in the dark. But maybe that's your style! The fit is great of course, Levi's don't dissapoint.

Good looking jean, but they are definitely skinny, and the material is fairly heavy, so they have a constricting feel. Very sleek, and a good value. Stitching is gold, rather than the white pictured on Zappos.

I purchased these jeans for my 16 year old son who's growing up not out. It's difficult to find extra long jeans for slim people, whether male or female (I'm a size 6 with a 34 inch inseam). It seems manufacturers expect tall and big rather than tall and slim. These long length (32x36) jeans fit perfectly. Not too snug and just right. My only concern is we have some Levis that wear much more quickly than Levis we've had in years past. It remains to be seen what our experience with these will be, but I'm optimistic. I'm just waiting for Zappos to carry 36x38 for my husband, and size 6 boot cut longs for me. It would be helpful if they categorized woman's jeans by lengths too (petite, medium, long) so we didn't have to open every selection to determine if they come in longs. The only reason for the 4 stars, is we prefer jeans with a bit of stretch as they're much more comfortable. I'm thoroughly impressed by Zappos customer service. I tell all my friends what a pleasure it is to be able to shop from home without a worry as to return shipping costs. Zappos prices are also quite competitive. Great job Zappos and I applaud your employees! I'll be ordering from you again soon!

These pants are great really durable. Get a size bigger, though; they fit kind of tight. They fade a little when you wash but these pants are a great great buy. Worth the money.

The pants are good but the stitching comes in beige. 3D Onyx is advertised as white stitching. Other than that they are fine pants.

Jeans are dark but not raw looking...sizing is quite tight. I wear a 34 from most vendors and I needed a 36 in these and they were still snug. No vanity sizing here. Thinner denim so I wouldn't wear them for a long day out in the cold winter but otherwise, the 511 style is slim and chic.

Levi's undoubtedly are the best jeans ever. If you plan to purchase these Skinny jeans be aware they run small. Good thing is, men aren't going to freak out if the Number Sizes are larger!

These jeans are a really great wash. They do run a little bit smaller than usual Levi sizes in the 511 fit. The material is a bit thicker than most, which could explain the tighter fit. I'm a 28 waist, a 30 in Levis, but I could have gone with a 32.

Great Jeans! They do seem a bit baggier than other 511 31x34's I've bought...not sure if because these are stretch fit? Overall, I'm very happy with the jeans. They are a great color and are very nice pair of jeans! I definitely recommend these, especially for the price!

I normally wear 32/36, but the waist was too tight, so I had to exchange them for 34/36. I think a 33/36 would work better, but they don't come in that size. Also, they wear a bit too low. I wish the waist was an inch higher. I bought two pairs. The "Dark Tunnel" are Fall weight, but the "Sky" are Summer weight. I wish all jeans were Fall or Winter weight, as I'm tired of the predominance of thin denim. Nonetheless, the Levi's 511's are still the most practical and stylish skinny jeans on the market. I just wish they would increase the waist rise by a 1/2 inch or inch and upgrade the denim to Fall or Winter weight. Also, one other note. I wish they offered them in 38 length. The 36 length look fine, however it'd be great to be able to order a longer length for those times when I want to wear a nice thick cuff to create a 50's or 60's look.

For this particular cut of jeans, I could have stood to order one size shorter inseam, I guess because they are low-rise the inseam fits a little longer than the 505s I usually used to wear. I buy these especially because I'm a cyclist and they fit close to the ankle, but with my normal inseam I still have to roll these up. Pretty awesome fit overall, nothing fits as well as these that I've tried -- and though I am a slightly overweight person, they are still flattering in the ass even though they are skinny-fit. Garment finish was mediocre, lots of sewing mistakes and I would not consider it to be top quality, but you can't beat the price/shipping/selection of sizes. Overnight free shipment was super fast, I ordered late one day and they were at my home within less than 12 hours.

In terms of quality and fit, these are everything you would expect from a pair of Levi's - well made, especially for the price in this age of expensive jeans. However, you would think a color called "Clean Dark" would be exactly that: a dark wash with no whiskering/fading, etc. - wrong. It has pre-made crinkling and whiskering behind the knees of all places, which is very hard to see in the picture. So, these are great if you're into that kind of thing, but I'm not, so I ended up returning them.

It's not really a green wash, witch is good, nice strong denim too. I wear a 34 in True Religion for a fitted look but for Levi's I need a 36 to get that same fit. I have to send mine back and get the right size.

I love these jeans and get compliments all the time when I wear them. More slim fit than skinny, so they compliment the body rather than making you look like you are squeezed into your pants. Gives you a nice fitted, sexy look that is still comfortable and not so trendy that you will feel shame looking back on photos in a few years. Recommend.

Great every day Jeans. I got mine in Hiro which has more fade than the picture reveals, but still very fashionable. I do find that they really lose their fit after a few wears and need to be washed to retain it. Bought 2 pairs of the 511 and a Super Skinny.

Definitely skinny - 5’6”, 130lb, 28” waist, toned legs, small butt. Normally wear 29x30 or 30x30 low rise boot cuts /w a belt. Decided to try out skinnies for a nightlife outfit. Got a 30x30, fits like a glove, a little tight in the crotch, but excellent fit otherwise. I like the wash, but I'm not picky as long as it looks like a pair of jeans. 100% cotton, but still surprisingly flexible. I dance and although I don't think these could handle a full split, depending on how tight they're on you, they can definitely handle a half split and typical social/club dancing. Also comfortable enough to sit in for long periods of time. I think there's a 511 w/ spandex, but I don't think it's offered via Zappos atm. Taking my pair out for a run tonight and assuming they pass, I'll be looking to get a pair of the spandex version.

I am a somewhat tight fit into most size 34 jeans, but these 34x30 "slim" stretch jeans run really LARGE, and I didn't even get to the stretchy part. Slightly baggy in the seat, length is really long. Previous versions of the "Bee Eye" (grey) color were not stretchy and I took a 36 waist so I ordered a pair of those - they were gigantic. Returned for these 36x30. I probably could easily wear 32 waist

I ordered two of these in "black." One pair is normal. The second pair has two pairs of wrinkles, at the front pockets and back lower legs, respectively, that have been impossible to get rid of. Multiple washings, multiple ironings, and several attempted home remedies haven't done a thing to release these wrinkles. It's like these pants really want to drag me to a Nickelback show in 2005 or whatever, and I'm really disappointed with having wasted ~$50 on these things.
